Back up and running---woooohooooo

**mrmustang** · 10-20-2023, 05:56 PM

While I don't post often these days, I do try to hit the forum at least once a day to see what is going on. Been a hard few weeks, and it appears I'm the first to realize the site is back up and running.

My thanks goes out to all who administrate the site, and have clearly spent countless hours working on restoring the forum.

Sincerely,

Bill S.

YAY!!!

Yeah!!! What Bill said!!!

I really do enjoy the community and as stated above truly do appreciate all that's been done to keep the site going! (Heading to see if the contribute link works...)

Welcome back!

**4-barrel Mike** · 10-20-2023, 08:42 PM

Yes!

Yay! Really glad to see this! Thanks, site owner(s), for getting us going again!

**MIKE'SVO86** · 10-21-2023, 09:20 AM

A great surprise this morning!

**82GTforME** · 10-21-2023, 10:14 AM

I was wondering if anything was going to happen to save the site and glad they managed to figure it out!

ITDude's concern about the site being "not secure" still lingers it seems but that may not have been why the site went down.

May FEP last forever

So glad it’s back, haven’t been posting to much lately but always use this forum for the wealth of information it contains.

**webestang** · 10-21-2023, 12:59 PM

Wonderful to see the site back up. Thank you so much to all that got this done.

And on my birthday no less......WOOHOO!

**85GTGuy** · 10-21-2023, 01:13 PM

Good job whomever!

Thanks.

I too am glad to see this forum back from the dead. I was beginning to wonder if it would be resurrected. Seems like not too much traffic back yet, hopefully more will discover it is back up and running.

Agree with all your comments.

A mass email sent out to member's email addresses on record letting them know the site is back up would help. I wonder if that's even possible!?

**mcb82gt** · 10-23-2023, 10:22 AM

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! So happy.

**Matt_83_GT** · 10-23-2023, 12:53 PM

YES!!!!!! Glad it's back up! I'm still fairly new to the community, but have already learned things on this site and hope to use it even more to get my GT to where I want it to be!!

**ITdude87** · 10-23-2023, 03:08 PM

Super happy the site is back up!

Let this be a reminder of how valuable this place is!

Cheers everybody!

After the first couple days of the site being down I just assumed it was dead and gone forever, but I kept the bookmark and checked now and then to see if it would come back. I was really surprised when it came up tonight when I clicked it. Glad to see it back, it's like me, an oldie but goodie.

Still no SSL certificate on the site, but that's not a huge deal since there aren't any payment methods going on directly here, and limited personal details. Just make sure you have a good complex password (especially with no option for MFA). SSL certs are cheap and there isn't much excuse not to have one outside of laziness in this day and age. I'll die on that hill.

I don't know for sure but I bet it was the board software itself and/or the SQL server+database behind the scenes. So many outdated oversights that can run away with you if you don't keep up with it.

Agree.

I (hesitantly) contributed another $20 with the link above as a "thank you". I can only hope that it actually goes towards maintenance and upkeep. The information buried here is worth a few bucks to say the least.

Cheers

Little late to the party but glad to see it back!

**KevinK** · 10-24-2023, 11:21 AM

Thanks

**Chuck W** · 10-24-2023, 04:51 PM

Glad we're back!

**fascat** · 10-24-2023, 06:06 PM

Glad to see the site back up. I would check it everyday and missed being able to. Thanks for bringing it back!

**richpet** · 10-26-2023, 05:56 PM

SSSSOOOOO happy to see this forum back up and ALIVE!

**1984GTTurboVert** · 11-19-2023, 01:43 AM

I couldnt get back here thru my bookmark and by pure accident wound up here thru a link on bing searching for something.
I had no idea the site was working again untill just now.
I still get the its down text coming here thru the normal channel.

**Chuck W** · 11-19-2023, 09:29 AM

I'm still having issues with my work laptop connecting properly (Formatting is all messed up. I just get a text-based forum), but it's been fine on the home PC and other laptop.
